Sonic Heroes (TAS) - Team Sonic in 36:01.23 by Malleo and THC98 (4:3 Encode w/ Upscaled Textures)

WARNING: This video contains fast flashing images. It may cause discomfort and trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

This video is a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS). This means that tools such as slowdown, savestates, and scripts were used to achieve a theoretically perfect run for entertainment purpose, that is not supposed to compete with regular real time speedruns (RTS).

-- About the run --

This run aims to complete the Team Sonic story and reach the credits as fast as possible. Following TASVideos's standards, the TAS timing begins on game startup and ends on last input. We also provide a final time using the In-Game Timer (IGT) as that's the standard timing method of this game in regular RTS speedruns.

Time based on TAS timing: 36:01.23
Time based on IGT: 30:39.56

We provided a version of this video where Malleo and I explain how most of the tricks work. You can find a link for it in the encodes section. For more details on tricks and mechanics used throughout the TAS, please view our TASVideos submission here:

-- The encodes --

This video was encoded in 8K quality by Sewer56. To get higher quality textures, he ported an HD textures pack (made by iChris4) from the PC version to the GC version. This is mostly noticeable when the video is played back in higher quality.

It's also important to note that Youtube limits bitrate by video resolution, so there will be a quality difference if the video is played back in HD, 4K or 8K qualities, even in a 1080p screen.
